It tells the story of two people who are together because of circumstances and have no choice, but eventually love slowly grows.
The novel that I need when I'm busy with work, quiet story and a bit slow in the beginning. But it makes me feel satisfied with all the achievements that are still reasonable. There are many novel stories whose achievements are too fast so that they seem too far-fetched.
Due to my work it took me quite a long time to finish this novel for 3 months plus 1 week, but I enjoyed it.
Lu Gu , A good and honest character. His patience paid off. His mother died when he was young and his father remarried. His stepmother always beat him and no one defended him. He was forced into a marriage to replace his beautiful half-brother Lu Wen. It turned out that after getting married he got a peaceful and beautiful life, which he never imagined.
Shen Xuanqing was a hardworking man with many skills, he could hunt beasts, read and do business. Even though he lives in a small village he has a long-term perspective. He always takes decisions for the good of the family. The perfect man that only exists in novels, tall, handsome and loyal.
One thing that I applaud is that he is aware of his circumstances and intentions, is not lulled by the success that most people desire, when he gets an offer to a big city to become an elite palace guard he turns it down because he knows what he wants. Even though the royal guard is more successful in the public eye but he has the realization that that is not what he wants for his humble family in the countryside.
We must learn to understand what "success" means to us, don't be blinded by the success that is considered by others.
Lu Wen I think there are many characters like him in the real world. I don't 100% blame him.
He is tired of poverty and feels entitled to get wealth to raise the class of his life.
Met a rich man who turned out to be a playboy. Lu Wen is just a beautiful ger who wants to change fate.
Unfortunately all of this was done when he had an arranged marriage with Shen Xuanqing and even took the dowry of money without returning it.
Lu Wen got the ending he deserved. He is no longer a poor ger in the countryside, being the concubine of a rich man but his husband is always drunk and beating him. The child was raised by the in-laws and separated from him. As said in the end, there is no regret pill in this world
He's just a ger who wants to live a better life but, he did it the wrong way.
The problem in the novel that intrigued me appeared in chapter 79, when Li Wanyun was beaten by her drunken husband. I was so intrigued by his life story that I researched the ending before continuing to read.
I salute Li Wanyun and am happy that he is finally happy with Luo Biao.
After I finished reading I felt satisfied and happy.
All the good people get a happy ending, and the sneaky ones get their reward.
